If you can find a nice mesh of a lion (or just head)
1. Import into POV
2. Apply basic depth map texture (i.e. gradient)
3. Render hi-res face-on with orthographic camera.
4. Resulting image can be used for heightfield.

You will need to play with the rendering of the mesh to get what you want
probably.  The hard part might be finding a decent lion mesh.
